2023 Map of Tyonek D-1 SW

About this map

The Susitna Valley landscape is defined by the massive, braided channels of the Susitna River, which dominates the eastern edge of this terrain. To the west, the Deshka River meanders through a labyrinth of wetlands and low-lying ground, eventually converging toward the larger river system near the southern boundary. This map captures a quintessential Alaskan riverine environment where the land is constantly reshaped by water, evidenced by the intricate Delta Islands and the seasonal flow of Trapper Creek in the north. Settlement is sparse in this portion of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, with Laub Airport serving as a primary point of access for the remote interior. The inclusion of the Dena'ina name Tay in Uq'e Tyitolyashi underscores the deep indigenous geography that persists alongside modern aviation and surveying.
